Day 4 of #BrewDiet. Hello, hunger

October 4, 2011

Tweet

Today’s word is: hungry. Yeah, today the hunger really set in. It’s manageable, but my stomach has declared that the novelty of the prior four days has worn thin.
That’s OK. I’m stronger than my stomach. I think.
My brain knows it’s getting enough to eat. Plenty of calories. And not like I don’t have plenty of [...]

I lost 6 pounds! The Paleo Diet can suck it!

October 3, 2011

Tweet

 
3 days. Six pounds lost.
OK, that’s probably not fair. Let me start at the beginning.
One week ago today, I went in to see my physician, Dr. Terry Simpson. My beer-and-sausage only diet wasn’t slated to begin until the following Saturday, but it was a good time to establish a baseline. All that was recorded at [...]

Poor planning for #BrewDiet Day 2

October 2, 2011

Tweet

Note to self: plan better tomorrow. We were on the road from 10:00 until moments ago. And I forgot to take food with me, so I had to improvise. I did OK, though I wound up eating more than I wanted. All thanks to piss poor planning. I’ll tell you more later. Right now, I’m [...]

Well that was pretty easy. This is going to be a piece of cake!1
Today was rather busy. I had to fill in for a talk Jeff Moriarty was supposed to give. But he needed a vacation. From not having a job. Whatever. Then my physician decided I needed to come drink his beer and eat [...]

The realities of compatability with #BrewDiet and a day job

September 29, 2011

Tweet

The reality of #BrewDiet hit a few people at the office a little harder today. A typical exchange went like this:
Really, you’re not just drinking beer and eating sausage the whole month, are you?
No, really. You’re not just drinking beer and eating sausage the whole month.
No, I’m serious. You really are not just drinking beer [...]

First support, then rejection of #BrewDiet

September 28, 2011

Tweet

Word of my little experiment is getting around. And even though Untappd declined my request1 to create a badge for drinking along with me during #BrewDiet, plenty of folks are jumping in with support! Like…

Brent from PA – This film director mistakenly thought his state had nothing good to offer me in the way of [...]

I Have Beer PHXation

August 29, 2010

Tweet

I like beer. Good beer, you understand. Beer where a brewer had an intent beyond producing a lowest common denominator swill that would be consumed the world over.
I live in Phoenix. Sometimes I get sick of the heat, but by and large, I enjoy this city.
My friend Rob Fullmer has a new project that blends [...]

Who says everything you do has to be productive?

January 20, 2010

Tweet

There are probably better, more productive ways to spend a Friday evening, but fuck it. I like to get together and have a few beers with friends.
More often than not, I’m doing that at #evfn, or East Valley Friday Nights. #evfn is shorter. And yes, dammit, you need the hashtag. And yes, dammit, it’s lower-cased. [...]

Maybe I’m a fanboy afterall?

March 4, 2008

Tweet

Last weekend was incredibly busy. No, NJ didn’t have a lot of hockey games. Yes, we finished up all the taxes stuff last week. Funny how people like me tend to fill up any available slots, huh?
The tone for the weekend was established Thursday evening, as The Lovely Wife and I shuffled off to a [...]
